! but the President of the whole American
people. He listened to and believed
the friendly words of Republican
leaders and the earnest profess
sions of q desire to let the dead
past bury it's dead. and look forward, as
a nation, to brighter era of national love
and brotherhood. He doubtless thought,
as any intelligent patriot would natu-
rally think, that boarding in the nations
capital the trophies of war and the sig
nifcant emblems Of strife and blood and
carnage was an insurmountable barrier to
that return of good feeling and oblivion
OF the past so grandly and eloquently
prayed for by the patriots of both par
ties. He assumed, doubtless, as he had
reason to assume, on the words of north
ern orators, that all was forgotten now
save the valor, the chivalry, the manhood
and self-sacrifice of either side in
that terrible conflict where ell were brave
and some victorious, and that the surest
method of perpetuating that feeling Of
national pride in the virtue and prowess
OF the country's soldiery was by return
ing to each subdivision that emblem
which inspired their courage, strength
ened their hands, and led them on to
fields of glory and renown, whether those
thus they would no longer be reminders
OF passion and strife, but of the fealtY
and faith of Americans to and in their
honest convictions. 1t would be
an act of generosity and msgnanimity
which would rebound more to the
credit and honor of the north
than any victory obtained over
southern troops. The trials and
triumphs OF General Grant will be num-
bered in our country's history as long as
our government lasts, but his one act, in
returning to General Lee the sword that
had flashed so often in opposing battle,
will stand forever, alone, the grandest !
act of his life: because it showed that he |
was more than a great general; he was a
true American citizen, who could be as
generous in victory as he was brave and
illustrious in battle. President Cleveland
can afford to bide his time and ignore the
frgntfc utterances of the Tuttles and Fair
rhilds,y The time will come when the
Nations capital will be purged of all
ralfes of internecine strife. rA

THE TEXAS MINING KING,
A Talk with the Owner of the Gold and
Silver Mime in Burnet County.

! - Ink Win the owner of the Gold and
Silver Mine in Burnet County,
Special to the Gazette.
! AUSTIN, TEX, June 16.-FitZgerrald,
who bought the gold and silver mine in
Burnet county, arrived in Austin tonight.
There is great excitement in Burnet on
account of the find. Mr.. Fitzgerald is
FnoW seventy three years of age, and has
bno superior as q mining expert. Thirty
feight years ago he located the
DuctoWn mines Of Northern Georgia.
His acute instinct in searching for min
ersl deposits is the result of fortv-tive
years deyoied TO that business, and II has
never failed him. The present fad has
many times been looked over by prospect
lessSssard seeming experts, who in each and
T every instance examined only the quartz
deposits. Mr.. Fitzgerald came fore
armed with the knowledge obtained from
the records that the gold and silver are 20
De found in the iron ore deposits
and not among the quartz These
ne found and the specimens ne
has had essayed show g yield of
$40 worth Of gold 20 the ton, exclusive
of the silver and iron. Mr., Fitzgerald
was seen to-day by & reporter of THE
GAZETTE and these facts obtained directly
from him. He is hearty,
cheerful old gentleman, bearing more
than well the burden of his seventy-three
years. He is e pleasant companion, and
gave ell the information ne rad to fmpart
with seeming pleasure. What might
seem Incompatible with his business IS
mining expert, ne is minister of the
gospel, having been Baptist
preacher for tarty-tve years, all
the time that he has been
engaged in mining. He Iaughingly told
the reporter that he mad frequently worked
at the mines all day and preached TO the
men at night. Mr.. Fitzgerald states that
the present find of the San Saba mines
is worth $1,000, OOj. Machinery to work
them has been ordered and vii
be on the ground next week ready for
immediately starting the mines in opera
ton. Mr.. Fitzgerald himself arrived in
Austin this evening from Burnett at $50
and left on the 80 train for San Antonio
